Portitus's remarks made Camillos look ashamed.

At this moment, another respected veteran, Ambustus, raised his right fist and said loudly: "I choose Camillos as the dictator!"

Pantius also immediately spoke: "I also support Camilos as a dictator!"

Paulus followed closely: "Camillos is my choice!"

……

When the voice yelling Camilos kept resounding through the venue, Marugineensis, who had always disagreed with Portitus, remained silent.

Camillos clenched his fists in the envious eyes of Quintus...

In December of the 13th year of the Kingdom of Dionian (that is, 380 BC), the elders reached a consensus: elect a dictator to lead Rome and the kingdom of Dionian.

At the next meeting of the Hundreds in Mars Square, Camilos, whom the veterans preferred, was again elected as the dictator by the General Assembly to deal with the war with Dionia.

In the next period of time, the battlefield in the north became silent.

After discovering that Antiium and Sutnikum were heavily garrisoned, the Wolseys, considering their lack of strength, coupled with Amintas’s suggestion, temporarily stopped the retake by Rome. The plan of the towns occupied by the people, while allowing the soldiers to follow the Dionian First Army to train, so that they can strengthen cooperation in future battles, while beginning to contact more ethnic forces that are dissatisfied with the Romans, such as Helniki. People, Masi people, Aques, even Sabines...come against Rome.

"In the case of Rome's 50,000 troops crushing the border, the weak Volsi, with the help of the Dionians, actually repelled the Romans!" The news quickly spread throughout central Italy. It did make some forces move their minds.

So, Tapirus, who was staying in Selshe City, got busy.

The news of "The Romans were defeated by the Allied Forces of Dionia-Vorsey" also spread to the neighboring Samona Mountains. Originally, he was dissatisfied with Dionia's delay in returning the prisoners and prepared to send The high-level Kautini who had come to Turei to protest by the messenger heard the news and immediately died down and quietly observed the situation.

And this news also brought the words of the Romans questioning the Carthage messenger: "If the Carthaginians do not send troops to attack Dionia, Rome will have to sign an armistice agreement with Dionia!" When Chi and the Iberian Peninsula were introduced into Margo’s ears, he immediately realized that he had to change his strategy and could not continue to stalemate with Hanno on the issue of sending troops or not, otherwise, once the Romans and Diony Armistice in Asia, and the Carthaginians attacked Dionia independently, which would encounter great difficulties. Even with his knowledge of the conservative guys in the Senate, they are likely to abandon their declaration of war on Dionia and re-sign a peace agreement with it.

So, he immediately called a meeting of family members. After reaching an agreement, he quickly sent a messenger to the Carthage Senate and asked Preta Kuba to say at the meeting: The Iberian colony is willing to send 20,000 troops. Obey the command of the commander-in-chief appointed by the Senate.

For Margot’s soft service, Hanno, who had regained control, was satisfied, but he also knew that the situation at this time no longer allowed him to delay any more, so the Senate quickly made a “send an army to Sicily, attack Dionian Territory" resolution.

The commander-in-chief of the Carthage army appointed by the Senate was Monte Adeno. He was a member of the Hannoist faction. Over the years, he has been implementing the political concept of "developing inland" advocated by Hanno, and led the army to defeat many times. The various tribes of Numibia made great contributions to Carthage's conquest of Numibia. Therefore, Hanno was more at ease in letting this veteran who was also an outstanding warrior serve as the commander-in-chief of the expedition to Sicily.

So, the entire city of Carthage, allied states, and the Numibia area under its control all acted to recruit soldiers, gather warships, and prepare for the supply...

……………………………………

At this time, the free city of the Kingdom of Dionia-Lijim's riots that have lasted for dozens of days have subsided. The citizens of the city are holding an important civic assembly. The meeting has only one theme-voting Decide whether to fully incorporate Lijim into the Kingdom of Dionia.

The result is obvious. The starving people voted for it, businessmen who hoped their family’s trade could go a step further, voted for it, and citizens with greater political ambitions voted for it... …Despite strong opposition from some people, the citizens’ assembly voted in favor of this important proposal related to Lijim’s future development.

When Li Jim’s messenger brought this important news to Turey, Daves was prepared. He immediately wrote an ebullient letter, praising the Li Jim people for making the most correct one. Decided and solemnly promised: After Lijim becomes a part of the kingdom, it will continue to maintain the prosperity of trade, and its people will get more rights and better care...

At the same time, under his proposal, the Senate quickly appointed Prot Silus as the chief executive of Lijim, taking the judges of Lijim, tax officials, household registration officers...and other city officials who were appointed at the same time. As the fleet went south, the fleet also carried a lot of grain transferred from the granary.

When passing through the Port of Lockley, the Seventh Army, which had been notified, sent a group of soldiers and boarded the fleet.

The fleet finally arrived at Lijim Port, and Alcibidas and Feidun led a large number of people to greet them.

Prot Silus read out King Davos's appointment to him. None of the people present expressed objection loudly. Instead, they were happy when they saw the large quantities of food escorted ashore by the soldiers.

Protsilius also announced another appointment, which was signed by King Davos and the Senate, electing Alcibidas and Fidun as the elders of the Kingdom of Dionia.

The Lijim people cheered.

However, these two new elders could not go to Turei immediately, but wanted to stay temporarily to assist Protsilus in taking over the affairs of the entire city-state.

With the full assistance of the two of them, another thousand Seventh Legion soldiers to maintain order, plus the political skills honed by Protsilaus in these more than ten years of administrative experience, he took over Li Jim. The process is relatively stable.

After more than ten days, Alcibidas and Feidun received an invitation from the Senate to let them go to Turíy to participate in this year's Dionian National Congress.

At this time, the wounded soldiers and the remains of the dead of the First Army have been returned to Turriy.

At this time, the Congress of Parliament of the Kingdom of Dionia and the Congress of Guardians are about to be held, and the annual Kingdom Football Finals will also be held. On January 1, 2014 (that is, 379 BC), in accordance with the traditional customs formed since the establishment of the kingdom, on the first day of the new year, the king, the elders, as well as the representatives of the local councils of various cities across the country, and the guardians The representatives gathered in front of the Temple of Hades in the Sacred Hill.

As the high priest, King Davos read aloud the obituary in honor of the heroic spirit.

Amidst the solemn and solemn music, the court guards took a steady step and carried the stele engraved with the names of the soldiers who died in Wolsey and Campania into the Hall of Valor. From then on they carried Accept the blessing of Pluto and the admiration of the people, and at the same time their heroic spirits will also guard the land they have defended with their lives.

Because of this, although the relatives of the deceased who also came to pay homage to the deceased, although their expressions are sad, few cry out, on the contrary, they have pride and expectation in their eyes.

On the second day, the same group of representatives of congressmen and civic officers sat in the VIP seats in the main arena of Dionia and watched the lively opening ceremony of the Kingdom Football Finals and the subsequent first Games.

For those parliamentarians from the Downey region who came to Turei for the first time, the boiling scene of more than 50,000 spectators cheering in unison shocked their spirits, and the wonderful game scene also attracted their attention. ...

On the third day, the assembly of congressmen was held.

The venue was in the Grand Chamber of the Senate. This venue, which can accommodate thousands of people, was finally able to fully function and was filled with seats. In order to ensure that all participants can hear clearly, more than a dozen speakers were arranged around the podium in the center of the venue.

Of course, according to past practice, shortly after the start of the conference, all the councillors applauded Lijim's joining the kingdom.

Next, the attention of the participants this time was on two issues-drought and war, so when Minister of Agriculture Burkos finished the disaster relief situation in the kingdom last year and the agricultural issues to be adopted this year After some new initiatives, the parliamentarians spoke enthusiastically.

Among them, the words of a Mesapi councillor from Udia represent the aspirations of many people. This old man also experienced the severe drought in southern Italy more than 20 years ago, because the Mesapi people are not like the Greeks. The sea trade is prosperous, you can buy food everywhere, and you can also go to colonization. Therefore, he saw many Mesapi people starving to death in front of him. And for this drought that was no less than 20 years ago, he has so far He hasn't heard the news of a Mesapi who starved to death, so he excitedly praised the kingdom's disaster relief efforts loudly, which resonated with many people.

Of course, some people have expressed concern: "Although the drought has ended, the domestic food supply has become more and more tense. Moreover, now that the war has broken out, can domestic food support this year's autumn harvest?"

Note: The Hundreds Congress is one of the three major citizen assemblies in Rome. At this stage, it is the highest level of the citizens’ assembly. A Hundreds Group formed according to property and class can only have one opinion, and according to the status of the Hundreds Group, Vote in turn from high to low. When the proposal receives more than half of the support, the voting is immediately terminated. Often the hundreds of groups behind often have no chance to vote, and most of them are composed of civilians.

The other two are the Kuria and the Tribs. The Kuria is completely exclusive to the Roman clans. The commoners are completely excluded. It has a lot of power during the royal reign. At this stage, the power has been greatly reduced, but some affairs related to the nobility are still being handled. At this stage, the Tribus People's Association is only a gathering of Roman civilians in accordance with the Tribus to which they belong, and the resulting proposals are only valid for civilians. A hundred years later, it became the main legislature of Rome.
